Todays PTI challenge is to make a back to school blackboard - using a die cut to create the "legs" of your easel. I created a green shaded blackboard because that's what I remember they started using when I was in school. I also remember how Miss O'Brien always decorated our Fourth Grade room with all kinds of cut outs - and I remember the distinct smell of the purple-y stuff they used to duplicate assignments and drawings. So it seemed natural to string up some "leaves" the way she would have done!
Paper: Classic Kraft, Ocean Tides, Dark Chocolate - all PTI
Ink: PTI Classic Kraft, Fresh Snow, Dark Chocolate
Dies: PTI Polkadot Parade #2. Journaling card
